This might be your sign to finally ask for help, ? 🫢

Ever been in a situation na dahil sa sobrang lungkot at hirap na tinitiis mo, naisip mong mas mabuti pang mamatay na lang? Seryosong topic ito. And our e-coaches are more than willing to be a listening ear for you. (But we don’t claim to be professional therapists, and if you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts, we encourage you to reach out to a professional therapist or counselor.)

In our series this week, “It’s OK Not to Be OK,” titingnan natin ang kuwento ni Moses, isang alagad ng Panginoon, when he felt overwhelmed and hopeless. It happened when he was in charge of all the people of Israel, at ang daming gulo at problema. Basahin natin ang sinabi niya sa Panginoon ng panahong iyon:

Hindi ko po sila kayang alagaan lahat nang mag-isa. Napakahirap nito para sa akin. Kung ganito lang po ang pagtrato ninyo sa akin, patayin nʼyo na lang ako ngayon. Kung nalulugod kayo sa akin, huwag ninyo akong pabayaang magdusa.” (Mga Bilang 11:14-15 ASD)

Nakikita mo ba? Pati si Moses, na akala natin ay isang ‘spiritual giant’ at siyang ginamit ni Lord para mapalaya ang Israel mula sa slavery sa Egypt gamit ang miraculous signs and wonders, also felt overwhelmed and hopeless. Kaya hindi ito kakaiba! At hindi pala mali ang sabihin ang nararamdamang kahirapan; in fact, learning to express our needs helps us share our burdens with God and with others, at mas nakakatulong ito sa atin.

Meron ka bang community where you can share your struggles? We pray that you find a supportive community, because it’s part of what we need when going through difficult times. Kung wala pa, feel free to reach out through email— our e-coaches are always willing to answer you.

We are praying for you! Tandaan mo, isa kang miracle!

Isa kang miracle!
